In today's notation of Roman numerals from 1 to 50,000 they are:-
Units from 1 to 9: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX
Tens from 10 to 90: X, XX, XXX, XL, L, LX, LXX, LXXX, XC
Hundreds from 100 to 900: C. CC, CCC, CD, D, DC, DCC, DCCC, CM
Thousands 1000 to 9000: M, MM, MMM, (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX)
Tens of thousands from 10,000 to 50,000: (X), (XX), (XXX), (XL), (L)
To select a number simply write out the tens of thousands followed by the thousands followed by the hundreds followed by the tens then the units.
Examples:-
49,999 = (XL)+(IX)+CM+XC+IX = (XLIX)CMXCIX
1,999 = M+CM+XC+IX = MCMXCIX
Numerals in brackets indicate multiplication by a thousand.
The above method of working out Roman numerals was introduced during the Middle Ages presumably to make them easier to convert them into Hindu-Arabic numerals which eventually replaced them.
The Romans themselves would have calculated 49,999 and 1,999 differently from the above on an abacus counting device and then probably simplified them to I(L) and IMM respectively in written form.
